How do I open a trade?
To open a trade:
- Select the instrument you wish to trade, via the Trade Markets page or via the Search bar
- Click Buy to enter the amount you wish to invest
- Click Open Trade.
When opening a trade, you have the option to toggle between Amount and Units, so you can either enter the dollar value you wish to invest, or the number of units you wish to purchase.
The Open Trade window will display the number of units you are purchasing, based on the current price of the asset, the percentage of your total equity the trade will comprise, and the exposure.
